Emma Stone: "Isabel Marant Booties Changed My Life"

Interviewing celebrities can be the most nerve-wracking task. They're always meticulously groomed, gorgeous, and well-spoken. And then there's Emma Stone, who five minutes into our conversation over breakfast in Midtown Manhattan candidly told us about her real beauty dramas (rashes) and shopping splurges (anything Rag & Bone and Isabel Marant booties).

The primary reason we met with Stone was to discuss the fruits of her partnership with Revlon: The launch of a new mascara, Revlon Lash Potion, sure to be on everyone's mind (and lashes) come summer. Read on to learn more about her love of beauty oils, which hair color she prefers, and when she feels the prettiest.

ELLE: Let's talk about beauty…

Emma Stone: Yes! Let's!

ELLE: What are some of your favorite beauty products?

ES: Josie Maran Argan Oil, olive oil…

ELLE: Do you put it all over your face?

ES: I put it all over my face. I put it all over my face five times a day, and it still isn't working. [Laughs] Just kidding, I love you, Josie Maran.

ELLE: We're recording this.

ES: Oh, I know. I know you are. [Laughs] I'm allergic to everything so I'm pretty limited. Anything that's oil, I want it all over my entire body.

More From ELLE

ELLE: How do you keep your hair healthy—with olive oil?

ES: I have no idea. My hair is so not healthy. I have clip-ins in right now, because it's like, breaking off…but it's nice of you to say that! I use Clairol Shimmer Lights, is that boring? It is. When it's red I use Redken stuff for redheads. Obvs.

ELLE: What is your favorite hair color to wear?

ES: Probably red.

ELLE: Is that when you feel the prettiest?

ES: [In a joking voice] The prettiest? I only feel pretty when I'm confident, when I just worked out! [Laughs]. Isn't that what everyone says? Do you mean with my hair?

ELLE: When do you think to yourself, "Emma, you are pretty?"

ES: Um, everyday. [Laughs] But genuinely, when I am happy. You know, when I look in the mirror and say to myself, "Oh my god, you are so happy!" Like, on my birthday, because everyone is telling me I'm pretty. [Laughs] I also like having red hair.

ELLE: What's the one beauty product that you can't live without?

ES: I can live without any beauty product.

ELLE: Don't lie.

ES: You would still live! I need food, water, and shelter. And shoes.

ELLE: What about your eyebrows and eyelashes? You did just launch a new mascara.

ES: Literally. Yes. I mean, I wear mascara every day. And any girl who says she doesn't is lying!

ELLE: What about beauty treatments?

ES: I like massages; they are very exciting [winks]. There's this body work guy named Greg who is not a masseuse. He's more like a murderer. He digs in and breaks up all that fasciae. It hurts. It's like Rolfing. It really hurts. But it's so rewarding.

ELLE: We just got a massage in London and fell asleep in the middle of it.

ES: So you paid so much money to fall asleep, basically.

ELLE: Are there any beauty products you pick up when you travel?

ES: This isn't beauty but I like Berocca. They're just vitamins, but they are so cool. And Embryolisse. It's the only moisturizer I can use that won't freak out my skin.

ELLE: What are some of your favorite designers?

ES: [In a silly voice] Oh, I'm glad you asked. Rag & Bone. Duh.

ELLE: Do you work with Gucci Westman?

ES: Can we talk about her for a second?

ELLE: Yes. She has the best style, right?

ES: Um, I do not get it. She is so effortless and so fashionable. Why? Why?

ELLE: She is always so well-dressed.

ES: And it's all Rag & Bone, all the time. She loves skin care, too. That's my thing. [Hangs her head and says in a silly voice] I need it. I need help...

ELLE: Is there an eye cream that you prefer?

ES: No, I am allergic to everything! Let's just go right into this. I get rashes. Should I be telling you that?

ELLE: Too late. What about SPF?

ES: Elta MD! Next! [Laughs]

ELLE: Back to fashion!

ES: Band of Outsiders. Joie. Oh! Isabel Marant!

ELLE: She is so cool.

ES: She is so cool that she's too cool for school. I got the booties. They're real game changers. I mean, they changed my life.

ELLE: And like, everyone that sees you wear them is like, "She's cool!"
